age that it takes to have a
child today."
Perhaps it takes no more
courage to father a child in
ourworld than it does for
Wiesel to constantly attempt
to fathom his years in
Buchenwald, to comprehend
his losses and transmogrify ,
/1
them into vehicles to become,
as the Nobel Prize committee
said, "one of the most impor-
tant spiritual leaders and
guides in an age when vio-
lence, repression and racism
characterize the world."
Strangely, as Wiesel has
admitted, when he con-
templates the Holocaust, the
central event of his life, he
feels "no pain."
"I am still baffled and be-
wildered ...," he has said.
"Sometimes I feel remorse.
But mainly I feel a gratitude
for having lived through such
a great and profound mys-
tery."
"How could so few do so
much to many? How did the
victims remain human dur-
ing and after the experi-
ence?"
"And when I think of them,
I cannot but feel privileged
and full of gratitude, because
there is a certain lesson in-
volved — that generosity
survives cruelty, that man
survives the murdered."
Having survi,e; Wiesel
pursues t he mu-dert -,, wher-
ever the3 2:lay be. in 1974, he
protested the terrorist mur-
ders of school children in the
Israeli village of Maalot by
demanding that, "Now — this
time — we must succeed in
shaking mankind's indif-
ference."
"How much sorrow and
shame can one generation
endure?"
"Will we again turn away
and forget?"
In 1979, Wiesel protested
the world's treatment of
Cambodian refugees by going
to Thailand's border with
Cambodia "because nobody
came when I was there (in
the concentration camps)."
In September 1982, when
he learned of the massacre in
the Palestinian West Beirut
refugee camps of Sabra and
Shatila, Wiesel said it was
his "worst and darkest" Rosh
Hashanah since the end of
World War II. "Almost dis-
armed," he felt "i ncommensu-
rate sadness."
"A gesture is needed" from
the Jews, he said.' "Perhaps
we ought to proclaim a day of
fasting, surely a day of tak-
ing stock."
And long before the cause
of Soviet Jewry had /enlisted
the aid of millions of citizens
in the West and a/ score of
statesmen, Wiesel tiaveled to
the Soviet Union to be with
— and to write about — his
fellow Jews. After returning
from the USSR in 1967, he
said the "crucial question is
whether we, Jews who live in
free countries, are worthy of

IRVING (YITZCHAK) SEGAL
To save the life of one child,
one person is enough."
was Elie Wiesel who told
him, "Mr. President, that
place is not your place. Your
place is with the victims of
the SS."
On Tuesday, Wiesel's words
and moral courage were hon-
ored by the Nobel Prize
Committee. Announcing that
Wiesel would receive the
Peace Prize, the Nobel com-
mittee saluted Wiesel as "a
messenger to mankind. His
message is one of peace,
atonement and human dig-
nity. His belief that the
forces fighting evil in the
world can be victorious is a
hard-won belief."
Hard-won, indeed. Since
1944, Wiesel has struggled
with a universe that makes
little sense, with a world
whose bearings of sense were
dismantled by Hitler's Ger-
many more than four decades
ago. Certainty eludes him;
mystery pursues him.
"Nothing is clear to me,"
Wiesel has said. "Nothing is
solved. Nothing is answered."
"All my work is a question
mark. My work does not con-
tain one single answer. It is
always questions, questions I
always try to deepen."
"I envy those scholars and
thinkers who pride them-
selves on • understanding the
tragedy of the Holocaust in
terms of an entire people. I
myself have not yet suc-
ceeded in explaining the
tragedy of a single one of its
sons."
For years, Wiesel has said
that he would not bring a
child of his own into this
world. In the late 1960s,
though, he became "more"
optimistic towards the Jews,
but not towards the world. I
think Jews have certain
secrets of survival which we
are trying to share with
others."
When his son, Shlomo, was
born in 1973, Wiesel said, "It
is impossible that 3,500 years
(of Jewish lineage) should
end with me, so I took these
3,500 years and put them on
the shoulders of this little
child. It took me some time to
realize the outrageous cour-
